Waldbühne Concert 1992: French Night

The Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Georges Prêtre (1924-2017), performs a French program during the Waldbühne Concert of 1992. The Waldbühne in Berlin is one of the most attractive outdoor amphitheatres in Europe and home to the Berliner Philharmoniker's summer concerts. With a 20,000 seat capacity, these events are some of the most popular classical music concerts in the world. This year’s concert opens with Hector Berlioz’ Roman Carnival Overture followed by a performance of Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand starring soloist Leon Fleisher. The program also features Debussy’s L'Après-Midi d’un Faune, Bizet’s Carmen Suite and Ravel’s famous Bolero. After some lively dance music by Bizet and Offenbach, the orchestra concludes with Strauss’ Radetzky March and Lincke’s Berliner Luft, a whistle-along favourite which produces some entertaining audience reaction.
